Spring 2011 sees the launch of another stunning collection from much-loved Australian brand, Forever New with the Shanghai Rose collection. The Socialite finds out more…

The latest offering is inspired by the exotic allure and fragile beauty of the Orient and is reminiscent of 1920’s style opulence, featuring drop-waisted dresses and beaded kimono sleeved tops with the embellished jacket returning as a hero item.

Forever New bring their usual romantic charm, sugary shades and flirty youthfulness to this latest collection. Delightful day dresses set a sophisticated tone in bright corals and playful florals, while sublime evening gowns dazzle with jewel-encrusted tulle, lace, silk and chiffon.

Heavily beaded camisoles provide the perfect evening piece paired with metallic jacquards and sheer, slinky fabrics.

Pure silk maxi dresses and cocktail shift dresses receive a fresh spring update with Chinioserie prints featuring alongside delicate oriental flowers and cherry blossoms. 

The colour palette of peach sorbet and coral tones includes delicate highlights of lavender, tiffany blue, jade green and dramatic black against the signature Forever New backdrop of soft pink and vintage pearl.

The range which includes a gorgeous selection of flowing fabrics of silk, tulle, chiffon and lace also includes Art Deco chandelier inspired jewellery, metallic heels and hard case clutches which make for perfect accessories.

Unique headwear with an origami influence provides the finishing touches to this glamorous and sophisticated collection, which launches in-store just in time for the new season ahead.
